Pietari

Tein tälläisen Nordicomics.info työpajassa Pietarissa. Tekstit otettu venäjä-suomi fraasikirjasta.

I did this in the Nordicomics.info workshop in St. Petersburg. I took the texts from a Russian-Finnish Phrase book.

[Hello] [What a surprising meeting!] [Lets go for a short walk]

[Can I propose a cup of coffee for you?] [Yes] [I am still single] [I am so compassionate]


[you are so kind] [This singer has a beautiful voice] [The weather is wonderful today] [I regret that I do so many mistakes]


[I’m leaving tomorrow morning] [I hope to see you soon] [Come in, please] [I can’t, I’m sorry] [Goodbye!]

Kesä

I haven’t updated my blog | I blame the weather | It’s been so hot I haven’t been able to do anything. | I haven’t done any work | I blame the weather | Of Course, I haven’t cleaned up | Again, I blame the weather. | I haven’t been able to eat… | …Or move… | I haven’t been able to think… | ..anything else but.. | … | …You’re so stupid. | I blame the weather I can’t think about anything else.

There is this volcano!

(English text in the end of this post)

HUOMENNA lauantaina 15.5. olen myymässä omia sarjakuviani/piirroksiani sekä vanhoja sarjakuvia kirjahyllystäni SARJAKUVAKIRPPUTORILLA sarjakuvakeskuksella Helsingissä (kolmas linja 17) klo 12-16

Koitan myös saada uusimman pienlehteni ”There is this volcano” valmiiksi huomiseksi (tosin katsotaan nyt miten onnistuu, aikataulut heittää taas aika pahasti..). Lehteä voi ostaa 7 euron hintaan. Hintaan on lisätty ”hyväntekeväisyyslisä”, sillä koitan tämän lehden avulla kerätä hieman rahaa tuhkapilven aiheuttamien laskujen maksamiseen. Lisätietoa lehdestä löytyy täältä.

Sarjakuvan originaalit ovat myytävänä huuto.netissä! Lähtöhinta originaali-sarjakuvalehdelle on 200 euroa, huutoaikaa 28.5.2010 asti!

I’m now finishing my new comic zine There is this volcano, and I’m hoping I’ll get it done this weekend, so I can take some with me to Copenhagen. You’ll find me there at the Komiks.dk 22.-23.5., where I’ll be hanging with the Nordicomics.info workshop! More information about the zine and how you can get one is here. you can also send me an email at mari.ahokoivu@gmail.com or come and talk to me at the Komiks.dk festivals!

Puhetta maahanmuutosta

Tein nämä stripit www.puhettamaahanmuutosta.fi sivustolle, jossa on myös mun kuvituksia. Kaikkia en ehtiny piirtää puhtaaksi.

I did these comics for a Finnish website www.puhettamaahanmuutosta.fi (talk about the immigration). There’s also some of my illustrations.

Mom, is him one of us or them? | us. | And she, is she one of us? | No she’s one of them. | And how about him, is he one of us or them? | Us… | No wait, he’s one of them.

Mom… | Yes? | If I was one of them would you still like me? | You’re not one of them, you’re one of us. | But what if I was? | You’re not. | But what if I would turn into one of them? | You wont. | Why not? | You just don’t.

Mom… | What? | Who would win, us or them? | We ofcourse. | Why? | Well… | Becouse we’re us and they are them.

Mom…. What’s the difference between us and them? | Well… | They are them and we are we. |Oh… | Is it different thing? | Completely different. | Like that we are smart and they are dum? | SHHH

The cannibal of Angoulême (24h 2009)

huijari01

Hey wait don’t go yet! | I um… | I wan’t to tell you something!
huijari02
Have you ever heard about… | The cannibal of Angoulême? | Oh you haven’t?! | Well then, you’ll definately want to hear it! | It’s a wild story!
huijari03
I bet you haven’t heard wilder story that that! | I know all kinds of stuff has happened here before… | …All kinds of stuff. | But nothing as wild as that | It was a scary thing | But luckily I’m here | Protecting people, you know |m-hm.
huijari04
So the story goes like this… |…Some time ago… | The streets of Angoulême where not so safe. | Because in the shadows lurked… | …Danger.
huijari05
If you where walking at night | alone | here in the dark streets.
huijari06
And if you where not careful | you might find youself in trouble | …when…| The cannibal of Angoulême attacks!
huijari07
It’s true as it can be. | It wasn’t safe then | Although I was here | because, you see, the thing is | I was new here back then.
huijari08

I was a small puppy back then | Blue eyed also I guess | I couldn’t expect anything like that | something as sick as that! | To kill and eat people!! |pfff.

huijari09
The victimes where always missing something. | A leg | an ear | or a hand | Yes yes, it’s all true! | I heard some guy was missing his head!
huijari10
And no-one found any of those parts. | it had clearly eaten them! | But guess what… | Not only the parts where missing… | But the cannibal.. | They never found it!
huijari11
Oh you don’t belive me? | Why don’t you? | It’s a true stroy!! | You can’t just make up stuff like this.
huijari12
Oh, why it wasn’t on the news? | well. you see… | The thing is…| That… | the police where hiding information!! | They didn’t wan’t everyone to know they couldnt catch ti! | They where ashamed.
huijari13

It was a scary guy | No one really knew what it looked alike. | And they said it was often in disguise.
huijari14
They said it even dressed up as a old lady!  | There was some suspisions who it could have been | They said it was a neighbour or a uncle of someone | But those where just gossips.

huijari15

Last time that we heard about it… | …It was some time ago. | You see, back then, I was quite a small puppy. | And a brand new here. | I know, you woudn’t believe I’ve been a puppy once! | Har har har.
huijari16
But yea… | I had heard about it. | The pegions had told some gossip about it | But they didn’t know about it much | so I decided to find out | I thought that I’m not going to let that kind of thing run around.
huijari17
So I was walking on the street | and then I heard | Somebody was screaming!
huijari18

And there it was!! | I was sooo scare | you have no idea how much!

huijari19
But then I attacked! | There was a huge fight!! | And I bit it and I snarled.
huijari20
And then it just run away | And no one saw it after that. | And that’s why they made me the sherif of this town! | That’s right.
huijari21
What’ya mean you don’t beleave me?

huijari22
I even got this scar from it. | This one right here! | You don’t see it? | It’s a bit hidden | but I got it from it alright. | yep.
huijari23
Yeash

huijari24
